Luyện nghe bài hát Like It Is

I tell it like it is, then how it be

Heaven or boy, freedom or jail boy
A Jansport bag full of shit I sell for
The higher, the low boy, me and my homeboys
The kill us so we made up our own laws
Been fighting this long war, there's shells in this sand
Still but a grown man, could tell by my stash
Been stackin' money and as I wait for the rapture
never been no threat, I be chillin', relaxin'
Everybody

I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To my momma proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
With everything I need, with I want
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To do it nobody has ever done

I was in seventh grade my grandfather told me don't get caught
Lovin' the streets they never gonna love you back
But I feel like it's all we got so it's all we do love
At the end of the day I feel like the problem is the people control
It don't really come from here, so they can't do nothing but down on us
We look at them, we see somebody could help
but they look at us and all they see is a
It don't really anyway, we all gon' die one day man, one day

Do doves cry the black man dies, or do we croak with crows
The young catch gun shots, the old the holy ghost
Ho I love not, I never seen no pot of
ball windows and six fours with no switches
Was with no bitches, she love me though
You'll kill me if it make you richer, you screaming, you my brother for
Heart is where the hatred is, the brain that stained the below
And life is what you make it so I'm money for my folks

I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things done
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To make my momma proud, feel her only son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
With I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To do it nobody has ever done

When most people look at a person who does I
Do they look at us with preconceived notions as if
It's a set way for us all to be, but we all at the end
Of the day so I wonder why we don't treat other like it
You're looking at a person telling them that they don't
Matter when they're no better than me, walkin' down the tryna shoot at somebody
'Cause all we got is these man and y'all ain't never had to not have nothing
And that's the last thing you want anybody
Is to not really nothing

I been through hell and back, I seen my cry
Seen my hit the crack then hit the set to flip a sack
I done seen my homies die then went on to kill 'em back
So how you say you feel me you never had to get through that?
We for they amusement like they view us from behind the glass
No matter what we grow into, we gonna escape our past
So in this cage they made for me, exactly you find me at
Whether it's my time to leave or not, I never my back

I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To it up to heaven, despite the things I've done
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make my momma proud, feel like her son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
With everything I need, with everything I
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To do it like has ever done
